I very much doubt that is an experience and journey she has even considered. [ Still, she smiles as he does. ] I have no doubts that Thisru will find someone when the time is right. I simply hope she does not let the opportunity pass her by again.

[ There has always been a small sting in her heart that K'thisru had never noticed the interest G'raha Tia took in her. While he was certainly a tad childish and dreamed very big? She could tell the affections the man had for her sister were genuine. Yet, Alkaid felt it was not her place to try and push them together, and instead hoped it might have happened naturally.

I would have liked very much to see G'raha and Thisru together.

Gods, he is so very talented at distracting her. His lowered tone causes her heart to skip a beat and she all but melts into his hold.

She nudges her nose against his, then his chin, fingers tilting upwards to curl into the hair at the bottom of his neck. ]

Even the ones that may be inappropriate for our status? [ Even if in her mind, he has already claimed her as his and she has claimed his. A ring only represents that to everyone else. She has considered herself his ever since the night of the first failed attempt at the Conference.

Now, her voice lowers and she presses down those stirring desires. ] I can't imagine the requests are very seemly for a bride-to-be.
